His mercy brightens all the path in which we rove

75 Stuttgart. 8. 7. 8. 7.

1 God is Love; His mercy brightens
   All the path in which we rove;
   Bliss He wakes and woe He lightens:
   God is wisdom, God is love.

2 Chance and change are busy ever;
   Man decays, and ages move;
   But His mercy waneth never:
   God is wisdom, God is love.

3 E'en the hour that darkest seemeth
   Will His changeless goodnees prove;
   From the gloom His brighness streameth;
   God is wisdom, God is love.

4 He with earthly cares entwineth
   Hope and comfort from above;
   Everywhere His glory shineth;
   God is wisdom, God is love.

Interestingly, he is Unitarian, which explains the lack of reference to the Trinity or Jesus, just the generic references to God
